It was for "Kevin Young Jr.", Kevin's (Toad's) infant son, who had died from injuries sustained while in child care. The woman who was watching his son was actually tried for murder, but was found not guilty.

Spotting goofs doesn't distract from my love of TP. But it is fun

Episode 8 (Episode 1 of Season 2): You can see a boom mike in the shot above Norma as she leaves Shelly's room about halfway through the episode. It seems that Peggy Lipton (Norma) even looks up at it!

I spotted the above goof in the hospital scenes in Episode 8 with Norma 7-8 years ago (wow, time flies!!!!!) when the Gold Box came out. Recently got the Blu-Ray and started watching the show again - but now it seems they fixed this goof? While Norma still is clearly looking up at the boom mike, I can't for the life of me see the boom mike itself! Anyone else notice this? Did they really edit it out digitally for the Blu-Ray or am I going insane? And if they fixed this goof, I wonder if they fixed anymore...

Actually, now that some time has passed, I like "The full blossom of the evening".

Your eyes do not deceive you. Boom mics were digitally removed from several shots, though I seem to recall someone mentioning that they'd missed one.

What is the weird looking doll/statue in the Double R Diner that sits in the greenery along side of the booths? It is clearly in the scene where Cooper is first told about the book house boys by Harry, Hawk, and Ed. Other times it's in different places in the greenery. When Major Briggs asked Bobby to join him and tells him of his vision, the statue can be seen in the far corner in the wide shots. The close up shots of Bobby should show it behind him but it's not there. In some other scene I saw it in a different spot. I'm not far into season 2 and it's been years since I last watched the series. There may be more shots of it that I haven't mentioned.

It may be a prop goof that it's never put back in the right place, but it's so ugly I just wonder what it is.

S2E01:Albert Rosenfield:"[The Killer] left a note written in blood. Fire, walk with me."

Agent Cooper: "Here's the interesting thing. The blood on the note was tested. It doesn't match Leo's, Jacque's, Laura's or Ronette's."

Albert Rosenfield: "So, we surmise the killer wrote the note in his own blood. It's a rare type, AB-."

This has always bugged me because I saw it as a sign of sloppy production. It wasn't a boom mic in the frame or a continuity error with cups or donuts, it was a major plot point and I was shocked Lynch and Frost let it slip through.

This used to bother me too, but after talking with some people I think this one can actually be explained. Though AB- IS a very rare type, they tested it and said, explicitly, that the blood on the "Fire walk with me" note doesn't match Jacque's, who Dr. Hayward already told us had AB- blood. So just because the blood types are the same, doesn't mean the DNA is a match, which, clearly, it isn't. They never say in the script that it isn't the same type, just that it doesn't match. Presumably, there is other information encoded in blood to match up, otherwise 2 people with the same blood type would be indistinguishable at a crime scene, and clearly that's not the case.

I don´t know whether it can be considered an editing mistake if we bear in mind the special physics laws of the lodge, but I noticed the other day, writing in the "Annie in FWWM" thread that just after Annie´s disappearance in the lodge while Windom and Cooper were looking at her, we can see two tables, but, inmediately after, when Cooper agrees to give Windom his soul and he is stabbed, there is only one table already.

By the way, Is the shot in which Windom asks for Cooper´s soul and Cooper says "I will" filmed in two halves? I think so because it´s the only case in the whole lodge sequence where two characters speaks in different ways in the same shot: Windom, backwards and Cooper, normally. Maybe that could be the explanation of the mistake of having two tables...

I think the simplest explanation is that Kyle mouthed the words (backwards) in the scene, then audio of him speaking the words normally was added during editing.

Yes, but in a serialized TV murder mystery where all the clues are vital, they should've explained to the audience that while Jacque shared same blood type as the killer, his DNA didn't match. Even something that small could have alleviated a lot of confusion.

Here's another:

At the end of the first season finale, Cooper receives a message from Audrey (the card telling him that she's gone to One Eyed Jack's), which he promptly puts on table when the phone rings (Andy's call). When season two starts, the card was magically under his bed.

Well with that one, you know, Andy was in the room with the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department looking for clues about Cooper's shooting and he went to reach for the note, and hit his head and knocked the note under the bed accidentally and then forgot and went to the bathroom. Sometimes you hit your head on a plank and find a hidden stash of boots and cocaine and sometimes you hit your head and knock Audrey's note under the bed. Win some, lose some. So, yeah, it's Andy's fault.

In all seriousness though, all the clues and suspects in Season 1 are red herrings because, at that point, Lynch and Frost had no intention of actually solving the mystery, so the clues really aren't that vital and by throwing in the high strangeness of inhabiting spirits and dark magic into the mix it pretty much takes a deus ex machina (Laura telling Cooper in a dream and then him suddenly remembering this) to actually solve. Definitely not your traditional TV murder mystery, though I can see how watching it now for the first time with no prior knowledge might lead one to try at first.

But the blood type thing *probably* was a gaff in that they forgot they had that in the Episode 5 script, but it's not completely contradictory.
